Argyrochosma Chilensis
''Argyrochosma chilensis'' is a fern endemic to the Juan Fernández Islands off the coast of Chile. It has leathery, thrice-divided leaves with dark brown axes; the leaves are coated with white powder below. First described as a species in 1853, it was transferred to the new genus ''Argyrochosma'' (the "false cloak ferns") in 1987, recognizing their distinctness from the "cloak ferns" (''Notholaena'' ''sensu stricto''). Description ''Argyrochosma chilensis'' is a small lithophyte, epipetric fern. The rhizome is stout and upright. It bears thin, Glossary of leaf morphology#linear, linear scales long that terminate in a hair attached by a joint, of a bright brown color, with Glossary of leaf morphology#entire, entire (toothless) margins. From it, the fronds arise in clumps. From base to tip of leaf, they are long. Of this length, about half is made up by the stipe (botany), stipe (the stalk of the leaf, below the blade), which is round, a dark chestnut brown in color, and lacks sca ...

(Obituary.) Lowe was affectionately known as "The Big Snowflake" because of his beard. Biography Lowe was born in Highfield House, University Park, Nottinghamshire, into a wealthy family. The son of Alfred Joseph Lowe, he began his scientific observations at the age of 15. Alfred was a member of many national and local astronomical societies and was particularly interested in meteorology and astronomy. His interest in ferns led to his studying them.

Notholaena Standleyi
''Notholaena standleyi'', also known as star cloak fern and Standley's cloak fern, is a fern that is native to the United States and Mexico. It is a member of the genus ''Notholaena'', which is part of the subfamily Cheilanthoideae of family Pteridaceae. It is distinguished by the pentagonal shape formed by the blades of its frond, a property other members of ''Notholaena'' do not possess. Taxonomy ''Notholaena standleyi'' was named after Paul C. Standley, Assistant Curator of the United States National Herbarium, who studied plants in southwestern United States. First described as ''Notholaena candida'' var. ''quinquefidopalmata'' in 1864, it was elevated to a species as ''Notholaena hookeri'' in 1879 by D. C. Eaton. However, this name had already been used to describe another fern, and it was renamed by William R. Maxon in 1915. He named it after Standley, who had engaged in a great deal of field study in the southwestern United States. Standley was also collaborating with ...
